Photo Essays in Power Point

The 6th graders in Mrs White's Language Arts class and the French students in Mrs. Rickettson's classes produced photo essays using Power Point. The students brought in photos from home that had personal meaning. The Language Art's students chose vacation photos, while the French students focused on family pictures. Each student created one slide combining their photo and a written piece. I combined all of the individual slides into one Power Point presentation. Mr. Bonovitacola worked with the classes on the option of including voice overs with students reading their written work. The options of producing DVDs or posting the final class projects to the internet are also possibilities.

Check out this sample Power Point slide and student directions for a photo essay project.
